The problem most likely is that all of you folder numbers are not unique.

Each folder contains a folder.ini file that has the folder name and a
unique number (I think it is the second field but am not sure). In the
Filters.lst file, the folder to move or copy to is a number not a name.

So if your folder numbers are screwed up, say folderA and folderB both
have number 33 and you select B and then save the filter, it may display
A the next time you open.

As to the exact placement of the folder number in the folder.ini and filters.lst
file, I can not help. If someone knew this, they could either write a rexx/perl
script to make sure the numbers are unique OR you could do it manually
by editing each folder.ini file.
